Gilles commented on MATH-899:
-----------------------------
I propose to add the "volatile" keyword for variable "mti".
I also think that the "synchronized" keyword must be added to the "setSeed" methods.
Alexander,
Would you be willing to stress-test the codes before and after this modification to ensure
to it makes the class thread-safe?
